(i gtg for a bit probably)

His eyes flicked to Gabe, then the woman. "What do you mean?" he asked again. Surely she couldn't mean Gabe…could she?

(Got it)

The woman was quiet for a moment, she herself letting her eyes flicker between the two men.
"Follow me," she said, motioning for them to come.

(back!)

Alex hesitated for a moment, then followed her, glancing at Gabe worriedly.

Gabe had no idea what was going on, letting his hand slip into Alex's with worry.
"What's going on with you two," the woman finally demanded when they were alone.

Alex followed the woman uncertainly.

Gabe didn't answer the woman's question either, staying beside Alex uncertainly.
"Speak up, will you? What's going on?"

"What do you mean?" Alex asked slowly.

"You know he's there," The woman said, waving at Gabe with her hand. "How? Are you like me? With… other powers, too?"

"I…maybe." he said, glancing at Gabe again, then at this strange woman.

The woman looked down, then back up at the two.
"You do," she said, not a question. "There's no way you could see him and not be able to do other things."

He shrugged a shoulder, clenching his jaw for a moment.

"You…" The woman looked away a moment.
"You've been called evil too, haven't you."

He nodded a little bit, one hand moving to rub his wrist for a moment.

"We're not, you know." The woman looked up, hands behind her back so Alex couldn't see them shaking.
"Different isn't evil."

"I know." he whispered.

The woman nodded. It was clear sometimes she struggled with it.
"Can I… Can I ask about what you can do?"

His eyes flickered. "I…" he shook his head a little bit.

"Okay, then…" The woman looked away a moment.
"Can… I tell you about mine?"

He nodded slowly. "I…if you want to?"

"I… can bring people back." The woman looked up at Gabe then.

Alex's eyes widened, and he stared at her for a moment. "Can…can you help me, then?" he asked, very softly and hesitantly.

The woman hesitated a moment, then nodded.
"I can."

He tried not to get his hopes up. "You…" he trailed off, looking up at Gabe for a moment, then at her again.

The woman nodded once more.
"I can bring him back." Gabe felt the breath leave his lungs. It… it would happen?

Alex bit his lip. "I-I can't…I don't have a way to repay you."
